Dear Friends,ENNArecords is excited to present the wonderful Danish singer/songwriter, Helle Henning with her Quartet featuring Jay Anderson, Frank Kimbrough, and Jeff Hirshfield.
This is a double-bill concert with the Maryanne de Prophetis Trio featuring Ron Horton and Frank Kimbrough.

The Helle Henning Quartet explores and bridges worlds of American jazz and new Nordic jazz/folk music, with delicate balance and intense musical expression. All songs are written by this popular Danish singer, containing beautiful melodies and remarkable lyrics. Ms. Henning is an exciting performer, authentic storyteller, and together with her band, a dynamic improviser.

Helle recorded her third solo album in New York City, receiving rave reviews, and playing a successful release tour in all large cities of Denmark with musicians Jay Anderson, Gregory Hutchinson, and Nikolaj Hess.

Over the last decade and a half vocalist-composer-lyricist Maryanne de Prophetis has been developing her compositional voice. Her recent recording Tell A Star represents nearly 13 years of a compositional style marked by wide imagination and emotional range. Tell A Star is Maryanne's third recording of original music.

Her trio with Frank Kimbrough and Ron Horton was formed in 2002 and has been playing in New York City venues since then.

"Tell A Star is an extraordinarily imaginative set of music . . the scope of the work allows vital and equal invention from each player . ."Donald Elfman, The New York City Jazz Record, Nov 2016

"In this collection of her compositions, Ms. de Prophetis melds a clear voice and solid musicianship with a sense of daring."Doug Ramsey, Rifftides, July 2017
